Given Walter's considerable reliance on science in his work in Breaking Bad, Heisenberg is a reference to a real-life physicist. The Nobel Prize was awarded to Werner Heisenberg for his research on ...

Scientific references abounded in Breaking Bad, even if some of them went over the heads of the most ardent viewers. A few of those references were through symbolism in the field of chemistry. However ...

Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by the theoretical physicist in 1927, is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. The principle has bedeviled quantum physicists for nearly a ...

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for ...

EXCLUSIVE: Mark Strong has joined Catcher Was a Spy. He plays the pivotal role of Werner Heisenberg, the enigmatic lead scientist for the Nazi atomic program who would become the main target in the ...

Physicists in Austria and Japan are the first to measure two physical quantities that were used in 1927 by Werner Heisenberg in an early formulation of quantum mechanics – but then abandoned because ...

Devised by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the so-called uncertainty principle states that we cannot accurately know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or ...

Werner Heisenberg delivered his research seminar in Zurich in December 1944, unaware that there was an American spy in the audience under orders to assassinate him if he offered hints of progress ...
